The 2017 and 2019 releases, Wildlands and Breakpoint, include optional first person modes, though it seems like this new entry will go all-in on the concept.

Project Over is set during the fictional Naiman War, and aims to include controversial missions, such as a squad coming close to shooting a man carrying a baby, because they believed the baby in the man's hands to be a bomb.

If the player chooses to kill the mother, the soldiers question the player's choices, and players who attempt to enact violence on the baby have their screen cut to black and are given a game over, with the game emphasizing the message that «children are non-combatants,» chastising the player for their choices.
